You think your team had a bad opening to the season?
Coming off an awful 2-10 season, Boston College got down 24-0 to Cincinnati and never really got back in it, losing 34-15.
Both teams desperately need this win, or the season is effectively over (at least in terms of realistically going to a bowl game).

Why Rutgers Will Win
Boston College wasn’t close to stopping the Cincinnati running game last week.
It might not have seemed like it, and it certainly wasn’t Dylan Lonergan’s fault, but Rutgers has a lot more of an offense than it showed against UMass.
Why Boston College Will Win
Yeah, the Scarlet Knight offense should be far better than it showed, but that was UMass. It’s one thing for Rutgers to be unable to stop Minuteman quarterback Pop Watson, but that wasn’t the big problem. Rutgers ran 25 times for 27 yards. At home.Defensively, though, Rutgers wasn’t even close to stopping Watson.
